Lucky me again! Yesterday I was surprised with this beautiful yellowish variation! The lip is sort of yellowish too (see detail on the second link), far different from the pure white as in the alba variety. The interesting is that the leaves also are a little more yellow, less green than the other leopoldii I grow exactly under the same conditions.
